Outcomes & Objectives

The main research question guiding this project is:

What contributions can theoretical and philosophical frameworks of posthumanism and the affective turn make to review and renew technologically-mediated higher education critical and socially just pedagogies?

Sub Questions:


  1. How can critical posthumanism and the affective turn promote critical emotional reflexivity, relationality, social justice, postcolonialism and anti-racism in technologically-mediated higher education pedagogies?
  2. In what ways can posthumanism be used as a framework to harness the liberatory and transgressive potential of ‘emerging technologies’ for critical and socially just pedagogies in higher education?
  3. How may posthumanism and the affective turn be used to develop theories that are contextualised in the South and provide solutions to the problems faced in southern settings?
  4. In the context of the advanced state of neoliberal capitalism, what productive critiques and new ways of thinking about critical pedagogies in higher education can be provided by posthumanism?
  5. How can critical posthumanism and post-anthropocentrism assist to traverse and renew the humanities and social sciences with science, technology and environmental studies for critical higher education pedagogies?
